## MISCELLANEOUS CHAPTERS ON "INDUSTRY"

MILYUTIN'S REPLY.
There was Parnov,¹ during his illness and after his death Dolgov³ was in charge. Recently the production commission was under the direction of Lomov⁴; now we propose to send Sereda⁵ there from the Presidium. The Presidium has not yet approved this. Rykov proposes it. The others have no objections, since Sereda is a statistician, an organizer...

## LETTER TO A. D. TSYURUPA¹

December 5/[1921]

Comrade Tsyurupa,

In my view, Hinchuk² is right. There should be one exchange, namely the Central Union exchange. Expand the number of members of the board (or committee?) of this exchange from the Supreme Economic Council and retain the single Central Union exchange. I will present this tomorrow to the Council of People's Commissars. Call me if you disagree, so that I can present it tomorrow and suggest to Hinchuk and Bogdanov that they arrange a meeting this evening or tomorrow morning.

Lenin.

¹ A. D. Tsyurupa—People's Commissar of Food Supply.
² L. M. Hinchuk—Chairman of the Central Union.

In his letter to Lenin, L. M. Hinchuk, discussing the tasks facing the existing central commodity cooperative exchange in the sphere of cooperative commercial turnover, objected to the establishment of a second commodity exchange being organized by the Supreme Economic Council.

*The letter was written by Lenin in response to L. M. Hinchuk's letter. —Ed.
